Sometimes it upsets me how Mary and Frederik snubbed Daniel of being godfather to one of the twins. Then I remember Daniel’s an AIK fan and I feel a bit better about it all.

Svedala, Sweden (No. 2)
Skåne County (Swedish: Skåne län), sometimes referred to as Scania County in English, is the southernmost county, or län, of Sweden, basically corresponding to the traditional province Skåne. It borders the counties of Halland, Kronoberg and Blekinge and connects to Capital Region, Denmark by the Öresund Bridge. The seat of residence for the Skåne Governor is the city of Malmö. The headquarters of Skåne Regional Council are located in both Kristianstad and Malmö.
The present county was created in 1997 when Kristianstad County and Malmöhus County were merged; it covers around 3% of Sweden's total area, while its population of 1.3 million comprises 13% of Sweden's total population. Prince Oscar is Duke of Skåne.

Happy 46th birthday to Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, Duchess of Västergötland!
Born on 14 July 1977, Victoria Ingrid Alice Désirée is the heir apparent to the Swedish throne, as the eldest child of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden. If she ascends to the throne, she would be Sweden's fourth queen regnant (after Margaret, Christina and Ulrika Eleonora) and the first since 1720. Her inheritance is secured by Sweden's 1979 Act of Succession, the first law in Western Europe to adopt royal absolute primogeniture.
She was baptised at the Royal Palace Church on 27 September 1977. Her godparents included Crown Prince Harald of Norway (later king of Norway), and Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands (later queen of the Netherlands, 1980–2013).
Victoria was made crown princess on 1 January 1980 by the 1979 amendment to the Act of Succession of 1810 (Successionsordningen). This constitutional amendment introduced absolute primogeniture, meaning that the throne would be inherited by the monarch's eldest child regardless of gender. Prior to this constitutional change, the heir apparent to the throne was her younger brother, Carl Philip. He is now fourth in line to the throne, behind Victoria and her children.
On 24 February 2009, it was confirmed that permission had been granted and that Victoria would marry Daniel Westling in the summer of 2010. The wedding date was set in Stockholm Cathedral for 19 June 2010, the 34th anniversary of her parents' marriage. The couple have two children: Princess Estelle Silvia Ewa Mary, Duchess of Östergötland (11) and Prince Oscar Carl Olof, Duke of Skåne (7)
Often referred to as the "Godmother of Europe", Crown Princess Victoria is the godmother of eighteen children including: Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece and Denmark; Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange; Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway; Prince Christian of Denmark; Princess Eléonore of Belgium; Princess Katharina of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha; Princess Leonore, Duchess of Gotland; and Prince Alexander, Duke of Södermanland.
Victoria has dyslexia, as do her father King Carl XVI Gustaf and her brother Prince Carl Philip, and prosopagnosia.

not pictured / distant family: king alexander i of sweden queen consort olivia of sweden the royal family of switzerland count ronald stolberg countess marguerite stolberg the royal family of luxembourg
I. THE PAST ( not pictured ) king alexander i & queen consort olivia of sweden
born within mere days of each other, both brought into the world in the frigid swedish winter of 1927, alexander and olivia were seemingly star-crossed. olivia’s parents were low on the totem pole of swedish nobility, but fortune had allowed them this: a generations-old friendship with the royal family. there was no need for social climbing where olivia’s family were concerned. in title they fell at the bottom of the heap, but in esteem they sat prettily next to his majesty the king. so alexander and olivia were introduced as soon as possible, in the hopes of ensuring the friendship between the two families would live to see another day. and much to their parents’ delight, alexander and olivia did them all one better: they fell in love and were married in stockholm in 1945, just after the end of the second world war. they were shortly thereafter crowned king and queen consort of sweden. they’d been married fourteen years before their first child was born: a boy, frederik. elliot and linnea followed after, and alexander passed in 1994, leaving the crown to frederik, his pride and joy. olivia, grief stricken at the loss of her husband, feeling alexander’s absence like one might feel the absence of a lost limb, passed shortly thereafter, within just a few frigid winter days.
issue: ✗ king frederik iv of sweden ✗ prince regent elliot of sweden ✗ princess linnea of sweden
count ronald & countess marguerite stolberg
ronald and marguerite stolberg were a case of little more than luck. or, as they’ve told their children and grandchildren, fate. a count and his wife from western germany, the two could hardly even call themselves nobility. still, what they lacked in titles they made up for in wealth and, moreover, in love. ronald never wanted power, and so was content to take his title and his fortune and to live out the rest of his days never attempting to climb the social ladder. he met marguerite dupont at the free university of berlin. she wasn’t of the nobility; in fact, she wasn’t even particularly wealthy. but she was whip-smart and exceedingly kind, not to mention beautiful, and there was nothing to do but fall in love. ronald’s parents objected to his marrying someone so well beneath their status, but marguerite was, to ronald, the only woman in the world. he couldn’t possibly leave her just in the name of money or power, so he married her in secret, not caring for the approval of his parents. his parents were angry at his disobedience and even angrier at his lack of vision, so they turned him away and planned to make his younger brother their heir.
ronald, out of a county but still very much in love, was more than fine with this arrangement. the way he saw it, he’d escaped a lifetime of stuffy suits and crowded high society functions. he and marguerite settled in a townhome in berlin and were, for a time, incandescently happy. they brought a daughter into the world, adélaïde, who was to be raised without the pressures ronald’s parents had put on him. but when ronald’s father fell ill and a fatal car accident spelled his brother’s end, ronald’s mother was left begging him to come home. he was ready to deny her, to reject her the way she’d rejected him, but marguerite convinced him to return home and reclaim the title that was rightfully his, to make amends with his dying father, and ronald had never been able to deny her. so they returned to the world ronald so hated, and they welcomed another daughter, emelina, into their family.
issue: ✗ dowager queen adélaïde of luxembourg ✗ dowager queen emelina of sweden
II. THE PRESENT king frederik iv of sweden & dowager queen emelina of sweden ( hugh laurie & anna chancellor )
frederik and emelina met in college. frederik was in his first year at stockholm university following two years in the military, and emelina was studying abroad in stockholm for the spring semester. the two hit it off immediately, spending some time as friends before they began dating. study sessions in the library soon migrated to study sessions in frederik’s dorm, and when the end of the semester came, emelina was loathe to go home to germany. until emelina graduated, the two wrote letters back and forth; phone calls were an option, but the love letters were far more romantic ( and, for emelina, far less expensive ). when she graduated college a year later, she didn’t hesitate to move to an apartment in stockholm, where they could date a little more officially. and the rest was history: they fell in love and were married, and for just under twenty years, they were happy.
when frederik got sick, emelina began to shut down. her temper shortened. her relationships suffered, but none more than the ones she had with her children. emelina shut everyone out, especially after frederik passed. she felt she had lost half of herself. sweden saw her standing at her husband’s funeral, and for many years after that, they did not see her at all. she never left the grounds of drottningholm. for nearly a year after the loss, she hardly left her rooms. things changed after theodor came home from the army wounded and nearly dead; it was as if emelina came back to the world of the living. the near-loss worked wonders for waking emelina up to the things around her. she finally began to move on. she left her rooms more frequently, she laughed and smiled, softly at first, and soon with full force. she helped linnea with planning and, eventually, hosting dinners and charity events. in recent years, sweden has regained their dowager queen. and more than that, theodor and josefina have regained their mother.
issue: ✗ crown prince theodor of sweden ✗ princess josefina of sweden
prince regent elliot of sweden, duke of skåne ( mark ruffalo )
read the story !
princess linnea of sweden ( aj cook )
as both the youngest child and the only princess, linnea was doted on not only by her family but also by her people. she has been beloved in sweden from the day she was born, especially before josefina’s birth and the births of linnea’s daughters. but being the baby hardly made linnea frivolous or idle. her people loved her, and she, in turn, loved them. she devoted her life to charity work and diplomacy. for many years, she has been sweden’s matriarch; when emelina retreated into the palace following frederik’s death, linnea took up many of the duties that should have fallen to the dowager queen. to encourage international relations, she pursued a relationship with gunnar ragnarsson, an important businessman from iceland, and had three daughters with him. ( read their stories here ! )
issue: ✗ princess evelina of sweden ✗ princess elonora of sweden ✗ princess elsa of sweden
III. COUSINS OF HOUSE OLDENBURG ( not pictured ) the royal family of switzerland
king alexander’s younger sister married the king of switzerland. the two went on to have vera and ingrid bernadotte, who became queen of switzerland and duchess of guyenne, respectively. their children, in turn, are second cousins to theodor, josefina, evelina, eleonora, and elsa.
the royal family of luxembourg
emelina married frederik of sweden, and her older sister adélaïde married emile of luxembourg. the two went on to have four children, all of whom are first cousins to theodor and josefina.

THE DUCHY OF SKÅNE, SWEDEN ⇢  IMPORTANT LOCATIONS 
“ The southern coastal region of utmost prosperity within the Kingdom of Sweden. . . ”
SKÅNEMARKNADEN : skåne market
The Skåne Market is a major fish market for herring which is located within the Duchy of Skåne. From its creation around 1200, it has maintained a dignified status as one of the most important trade ports around the Baltic Sea and has made Skåne into a major distribution center for West-European goods bound for Eastern nations. The basis for the market's popularity was the rich herring fishing around the Falsterbo Peninsula. Legend tells that the herring fishery off the Scanian coast was so rich, that one could scoop up the fish with one's hands.
This successful market holds most of the wealth that the Duke of Skåne has acquired through his inheritance. He has trusted men who work for him to regulate the system and economics of the trade, since he cannot be within Skåne to monitor it himself. This important trade port is also a major reason as to why the Duchy of Skåne is tied to the royal family, as the royals centuries ago believed it was necessary to gain some of the profit from the system to uphold their reign. 
BOSJÖKLOSTERS SLOTT : ‘live by a lake’ + ‘monastery’ castle
For several decades, nuns lived here in strict accordance to the Benedictine rules of poverty, obedience and chastity. Since the mid fourteenth century, noble families have owned the castle, among them Matthias Sverressen’s relatives. This is the home where Matthias matured until he was seventeen years of age, which is when he went to stay within the royal palace of the Kingdom of Sweden for further education. 
LUND CATHEDRAL : swedish ‘lunds domkyrka’
Consecrated in the 12th century, this cathedral is the largest place of worship within the region of Skåne. As the dreary country converted to Catholicism and only spoke of their mythologies as stories, the Church became a major part of every citizen’s life. In the fourteenth century, continental culture, philosophy and science spread to Sweden through the Catholic Church, which also founded schools, hospitals, monasteries, and convents.
